I have found a wonderful online modern boutique with a vintage touch. The items they sell look absolutely wonderful and are at such great prices. The online boutique is called Ruche. http://www.shopruche.com/

Leaded glass windows have so much charm and character. I consider them a piece of art. I plan on taking down one of my pictures in my living room and hanging up this heavy window. Not sure how I am going to hang it but with Mr. H's help I know we can get it done.

I found this window at Found Things On Douglas. This is a fantastic consignment store that turns inventory over on a daily basis. Many women were shopping when I was in there. You can find vintage, new and used items in this store for sale at great prices.

I have some gourds and small pumpkins left over and decided to put them in a galvanized tool caddy. This will look perfect in the middle of the table with a few white candles around it. It is low so people can talk over it as well as pass around the Thanksgiving goodies.

I have been rummaging for several years and I have found so many cute little small things that I now see people use to make jewelry with. Of course, I love the style of using something recycled, vintage and funky. I had to try to make a few necklaces for myself and then of course I got hooked. Here is the first necklace that I made and I am keeping this for myself since it was my first born.

My funky and fun necklaces will be available soon on Etsy. I will let you know as soon as my items are listed.

I purchased this salvage "H" from the What Cheer Flea Market this fall. This metal letter came from a movie theater in Chicago. I was thrilled to find it in its natural state of chipped paint and original hardware. I cleaned it up several times and now it sits on my dining room buffet. I typically sell these kind of items on Ebay but I just had to keep this for myself. I had found out earlier that a salvage company in town bought 50 of these to sell and they were selling them for $200.
